                    Many of us can remember when we were in grade school how whenever the teacher had to leave the classroom for some reason, she would always tell the class to, “Be quiet and study!” However we also remember that as soon as she left the room, the paper wads would begin to fly! Erasers would be flung

                    We Always Turn to Something
In Thessalonica, notice those who heard the gospel responded by 1Thes1:9 turning to God from idols to serve the true and living God.

I was secure at home when I heard the voice from the Captain exclaim,
"Come follow me. Go where I send you. No need to fear.  I will be with you."
I asked, "But Captain, may I remain here on the shore where it is

                    Repent and Turn
Repent and turn!  God calls today;
Oh, do not close thine ear, I pray!
Listen!  It is the voice of love – 
Grieve not that tender heart above.
Repent and turn!  Now is the hour,
The time of God’s redeeming power;
Tomorrow it may be too late.
Just now wide open is the gate.
Repent

   Repentance is not basically a religious word. It comes from a culture where people were essentially nomadic and lived in a world with no maps or street signs. It’s easy to get lost walking through the desert. You become aware that the countryside is strange. You

Wabush, a town in a remote portion of Labrador, Canada, was completely isolated for some time. But recently a road was cut through the wilderness to reach it. Wabush now has one road leading into it, and thus, only on one road leading out. If someone would travel the

Robert C. McFarlane was a well-known businessman in the Los Angeles area. He moved to California from Oklahoma in 1970, and within just a few days of his arrival--due to a disastrous misunderstanding with a
